Nicki Minaj talks about ‘all night’ labor and ‘painful’ breastfeeding 3 months after welcoming the first baby

Nicki Minaj has given a candid look at motherhood to celebrate her beloved son – nicknamed ‘Papa Bear’ – turning three months old.

The hit player Moment 4 Life, 38, who shares her son with her husband Kenneth ‘Zoo’ Petty – spoke about her birth story and motherhood in its entirety during the time of the unassuming Q&A fan on Twitter Wednesday .

Asked about her first time breastfeeding her baby, she wrote: ‘He had no problem with breastfeeding. He went on in the hospital and I was very surprised …

‘I was afraid he might not. But breastfeeding is very painful. There is also pumping. Women make this stuff look too easy. Moms r real superheroes (sic) ‘.

Hit player Barbie Dreams admitted she was ‘butt naked’ when her waters broke at home, and her husband Kenneth Petty was instantly terrified.

Questioning about the experience, she replied: ‘Yes. I was butt naked. I just got out of the shower and asked him to rub my back. As soon as I started scrubbing over it in bed I just felt the water start to come out.

‘I was strangely calm and said quietly’ omg, I’m close to work ‘He was very scared & I was laughing @e. (sic) ‘.

Nicki, born Onika Maraj, admitted i ‘interesting’ her baby had ‘full personality inside’ and she knew how to find his way ‘long before he arrived on 30 September.

As the questions continued to flood, she was also asked about her own birth, and was happy to brief her fans.

She said: ‘Yes, a natural vaginal birth w / epidural. I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. It’s just b / c at first that the epidural didn’t stop me enough because I felt myself pushing. Once I was able to feel the pain I put pressure on it. (sic) ‘

When a fan suggested that this was ‘short’ for a mother for the first time, Nicki pointed out that she had slept for a long time.

She explained: ‘Well I was at work all night but they just let me sleep until I parted long enough to push it. The epidural was not injured either. They put me up well. So I took my ** right to sleep (sic) ‘.

‘I pushed for 2 1/2 hours. Only [because] at first the epidural didn’t turn off enough for me to feel myself pushing. Once I was able to feel the pain I put it on. ‘

Nicki then said Grammy winner Ciara – who has three children under the age of 6 – was’ so helpful ‘and wrote’ bless her. ‘

The 35-year-old R&B singer joined Minaj to rap on three of her tracks – I’m Legit in 2012 as well as Livin ‘It Up and I’m Out in 2013.

There will also be a guest judge of RuPaul’s Drag Race received support from Grammy winner Ariana Grande, who sent him ‘elegant gifts.’

Minaj and her husband and a 42-year-old manager – who doesn’t have a nanny – were just celebrating their first Christmas with their little chunk of joy in Beverly Hills.

Nicki will then appear in Michael John Warren’s six-episode docuseries on HBO Max – which will give her ‘Barbz’ ‘a raw, unprepared look at my personal life and my professional journey.’
